i know one right next my office. i heard they are GOOD. i think they are specialist in Toyota/Lexus. I saw Lexus LS460 2 days ago, White GS400 couple weeks ago in their lot. Always use OEM parts, I saw a bunch of OEM TOYOTA part boxes all the time

go through your insurance's shop. most likely they will warranty the work if you go to one of their recommended shops.

If you go through insurance they will warranty the work through a "preferred" shop. I know a great shop in Cerritos that will do an excellent job on your car, I have been taking my car there forever.

Default Got hit and need a body shop for my IS.

Any body shops out there you guys can recommend me too? My front fender and bumper got hit and I would like to take it to a legit place. I prefer south of Orange County, since I am located in Westminster. Thanks in advance!

Default Got into a car accident, need body shop info

Hi all,
Someone rear ended me pretty hard on the 405 today. At first glance, the rear bumper will have to be replace. Also, I'm having trouble opening and closing the trunk. I need recommendations on good body shop in Orance County, please. I want my car to be fixed right.
Thanks.

sorry to hear about your accident. are you ok? your neck?

i say try backyard creations in el monte, they are a pretty good shop. your frame is bent i think, since you can't open/close the trunk. bumper gone but i bet more stuff underneath are damaged.

get to a good and honest shop to check out everything and get the quote and send it in to insurance. don't just rely on adjuster

Thanks rominl, I'm a little sore (not a good sign, huh!). Still managed to get to work though. I'm hoping no frame damage but I'll let the shop to make that call. I'll check it out.
